    I have installed WTF as per the process. However, when I try to load it, I get a prompt to enter user name and password. I supplied it with the users of bugzilla database/password, wtf database username/password but was unable to login. Even I created a password file with htpasswd, but still I was unable to access wtf. When I cancel the prompt, I get the following error.

    Authorization Required

    This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

    Where am I wrong. please advise. This is the final stage of my WTF installation and configuration.

      Hi... Hopefully this falls under "better late than never"
      I also encounted this issue. The root cause turned out to that the password for a user needs to be stored user crypt(). So:
      1) Use this (http://www.osix.net/modules/article/?id=571) script to create the crypt()ed passsword (the salt is the 1st 2 chars of the password)
      2) update your "employees" table with the output of the step above
